On a big stage: Lukas Nmecha and the steep template

Just two weeks, on the day exactly, it will have taken on Wednesday evening until Lukas Nmecha gets the possibility he had obviously considered himself before. Because Wout Horst has infected with Covid-19, the German U21 European Champion should take its place in the attack of the VfL Wolfsburg. Nmecha had only brilliant at a test match win against Hamburger SV (4: 1) with three hits - and then tinted: I always think that I am the best striker. Weghorst s failure could serve as a steep template, this time on relatively large stage, in the Champions League lot on Wednesday (18:45 clock) at RB Salzburg. It would be his international start-up debut.

Already last Saturday Nmecha in the Bundesliga had received a chance from the beginning and thus preferably before the last shaped away away, which had been replaced later. Although the 22-year-old played 90 minutes, the 0: 2 defeat at Union Berlin could not counteract (Nmecha-Note 4).

Weghorst s failure pity

So the 3rd match day in the premier class, against the Austrian master. After two draws against Lille (0: 0) and Seville (1: 1), it is now a trend-setting game for the VfL, not least due to last six winless games and three Bundesliga defeats in a row. The pressure is there, that s no problem for me, said the Austrian replacement goalkeeper of the VfL, Pavao Pervan, on Tuesday evening at the press conference in Salzburg, on such pressure situations one grows, you have to face them . Trainer Van Bommel supplemented: You have to stay calm.

That Weghorst will be missing in Salzburg regrets the coach, That s a pity . A starting festival nmechas is thereby more than close, even if Van Bommel is at least publicly buttoned: It may be that Lukas plays. Twice he was previously used on an international stage. In the Nmecha Double Interview with Brother Felix, he recently underpinned his personal claims: I came to Wolfsburg to play. He makes it good, Washorst will have to restore myself after his return, with which probably only after the next liga game against Leverkusen will have to stop. Two ligatures have achieved Nmecha so far.

There are two different types of players

Through the personnel change in the storm center, the VfL attack game will inevitably change. Wout is big, not as fast as Luke - there are two different types of players, says Van Bommel only. Pervan specifies: Wout has developed hard in his career. He has great confidence in his skills and knows that he can always shoot the decisive goal, says Wolfsburg s number two.

With Luke we have a highly gifted player, which may have more fine in the movements as a wout and an outstanding degree, the Austrian continued to deal with: He has great pace and can maintain the ball well. Not that Van Bommel had a choice at all. But against an opponent like RB Salzburg, which is handled with a high runner and play-tactical intensity, Nmecha s speed will certainly not be disadvantageous.
